2. Designed purpose of use

The AVANT Edge Trimmer is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders shown in

Table 1. Avant edge trimmer is the perfect attachment for trimming the edges of lawns, hedges, flower beds

etc. It consists of a hydraulically operated trimmer mounted next to a cutting disc. Cutting disc cuts lawn

precisely where you want and hydraulic trimmer breaks up any soil or lawn that is left to the side of the cutting

disc. Edge trimmer leaves a good looking finish to any garden thanks to its adjustable cutting depth and

precise control.

The renewed edge trimmer is equipped with manually extendable arm and can be turned in three different

positions: to the right side or to the left side, or to the front, which is also the transport position. Support wheel

is available as an option.

The attachment has been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform

regular maintenance tasks. All repair work can’t be performed by the operator, and demanding repair and

maintenance operations are to be left for professional maintenance. All maintenance work must be done using

proper safety equipment. Spare parts must be identical with original specifications, which can be ensured by

using only original spare parts. A separate spare parts catalog may be available, consult your Avant dealer.

Familiarise yourself with the manual's instructions regarding service and maintenance. Please contact your

AVANT retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if

you require spare parts or maintenance services.

3. Safety instructions for using the edge trimmer

Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly

powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property

damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's

manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you

have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.

Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition, may cause

risk of serious injuries. Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader, correct

coupling procedure, and the correct way to operate the attachment at a safe area.

Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety

precautions carefully.

Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment

When attaching an attachment to the loader, ensure that the locking pins of the

loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked

the attachment to the loader. Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.

The Edge Trimmer is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do not let

others near the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.

Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low,

and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving.

Impact hazard - thrown objects. Do not let bystanders stand near the machine. Stop

the attachment if others get closer 5 metres from the attachment.

Hazard of entanglement - Rotating parts. Never leave the driver’s seat when the

attachment is running or if the auxiliary hydraulics control is locked on. Always keep a

safe distance between persons and machinery that may start or move. Stop the

equipment following the safe stopping procedure and lower the attachment firmly on

the ground before leaving the driver’s seat, or when other persons are present at the

working area.

Keep hands and feet away from moving components. Wearing loose clothes, such as

loose shoelaces, or long scarves, should be avoided when working with the

attachment.

Stop the attachment by following the safe stopping procedure before going near the

attachment or the loader boom.

Always transport the attachment as low and close to the machine as possible to keep

the centre of gravity low. On slippery surfaces drive slowly and deliberately. Operate

the controls of the loader slowly and calmly especially on inclined terrain.

Do not leave the driver’s seat when the loader boom is lifted. Going under a raised

attachment or loader boom is dangerous. Always remember that the boom may lower

due to loss of stability, mechanical fault, or if another person operates the controls of

the loader.

Use the attachment only for its intended use and only with original tools on the

attachment.

7 (22)

Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe

stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the

vicinity. Pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as

branches and trees that can reach to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery

surfaces.

Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Do not modify the

attachment in any way that could affect its safety.

Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. Other use may create unnecessary

safety risks, and the equipment may get damaged.

Make sure that the loader is equipped with necessary safety components, and that

they are in working condition. Seat belt must be used. If there are specific hazards

related to the operating area, use appropriate safety equipment.

Also read the safety instructions and correct use of the loader from the operator's

manual of the loader.

Remember to wear proper protective clothing:

The noise level at the driver's seat may exceed 85 dB(A). Wear hearing protection

while working with the loader.

Wear protective gloves.

Wear safety boots whenever working with the loader.

Wear safety glasses when handling hydraulic components.

Safe stopping of the attachment, before going near the attachment:

Always stop the attachment following safe stopping procedure before leaving the

driver's seat. Safe stopping procedure prevents all unintentional movements of the

attachment. Note that the loader boom can move down even if the engine of the

loader is turned off. Safe stopping procedure:

Lower the boom and the attachment on the ground.

Shut down the loader engine and lock the parking brake.

Release residual pressure from the hydraulic system; move all hydraulic control

levers to their extreme positions a couple of times.

Prevent starting of the machine, remove ignition key.

5. Assembling the attachment

Attaching the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The attachment is

mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate on the loader boom and the counterpart on the

attachment.

If the attachment is not locked to the loader, it may detach from the loader and cause a hazardous situation.

The loader must not be driven and the boom must never be lifted when the attachment has not been locked.

To prevent hazardous situations, always follow the coupling procedure shown below. Also remember the

safety instructions shown in this manual. The attachment is mounted to the loader as follows:

Make sure that an unlocked attachment will not move or fall over. Do not stay in the

area between the attachment and the loader. Mount the attachment only on level

surface.

Never move or lift an attachment that has not been locked.

Avant quick coupling system:

Step 1:

Lift the quick attach plate locking pins up and turn them backwards into the slot

so that they are locked in the upper position.

If your loader is equipped with a hydraulic attachment locking system, see

additional instructions about the use of the locking system from the relevant

manuals.

Ensure that the hydraulic hoses (and the electric harness, if applicable) are not

in the way during installation.

Step 2:

Turn the quick attach plate hydraulically to an obliquely forward position.

Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your loader is equipped with a

telescopic boom, you can utilise this.

Align the upper pins of the loader’s quick coupling plate so that they are under

the corresponding brackets of the attachment.

Step 3:

Lift the boom slightly –pull the boom control lever backward to raise the

attachment off the ground.

Turn the boom control lever left to turn the bottom section of the quick attach

plate onto the attachment.

Lock the locking pins manually or lock the hydraulic locking.

Always check the locking of pins.
